Default Mag's to suit EF

Hi,

i am after suggestions on sets of mags to suit my EF wagon, now since i don't have a lot of money ($300-$400 MAX, not including tyres) im gonna stay in the 15" category.

Any suggestions,

i saw a Bobjane T-marts add that had RJR Lightning wheels for $89 each for 15's, does anyone know if this includes EF stud pattern/offset?

mate i'm sure you could pick up a set of second hand AU2 XR8 17's for $400 WITH tyres I've never seen em on a wagon but i'm sure they'd look good. I'm talking about the copies of course, made for pre AU offsets... EL GT copies are also available for around that price second hand if you look hard enough. But if you're just after the wheels, no tyres, i guarantee you could get either of those for your budget! Then there is also the option of the shark tooth EL XR6 16's. Have a look around, you'd be surprised what you can get for your cash.

have a look in the spare parts 'for sale' section of this forum mate..

click here to go there

and yeah trading post would most likely have a few too. and yes i was refering to a set of 4 wheels & tyres. Most people will ask for between $400 - $1000 for used 17's with tyres, just depends what wheels they are, and how good the tyres are.
